rws wm fc vn1 t Homestead (Received last week too lato for publica tion.) Mrs. Perry Ball's mother is visiting with her. It isn't so much what wo do as the way we do it that counts in this life. George Jones is working on his new barn. He hasL. M. Hawkins helping him. We took dinner with Louie Walter the other day, and found Louie making a new baby buggy. Mr. and Mrs. Wagoner drove up from their home south of Curly and attended the meetings Tuesday and Wednesday. John Ryan went to Marsland for coal for Mrs. Miller a few days ago, and J. W.

What a glorious old world this would be to live in if all of us would live by the golden rule and see and think of only the good in each others livesl We can most of us do better at it than we do.

The annual meeting of the Homestead Telephone Co. was Jjeld last Saturday at which we were told, Perry Ball was elect ed president, Mrs. Miller secretary and treasurer and C. H. Hubbell, E G Boyer and Perry Ball members of the board of directors. C. H. Hubbell shucked his corn last week. If every homesteader was as ener getic and the hustler that Hubbell is this county would be up In the front ranks ere long, Its the man makes the county, not the county makes the man. Little Johnnie Scott sustained a badly bruised head and black and swollen face and narrowly 'escaping what might have been a fatal injury while riding a horse Friday. The horse fell with him and so badly was the animal hurt that he was unable to get up for some time. Of course we were all shocked and sorry to hear of the destructive fire in Heming ford last week. Shindler, Frohnapfel, Bal luo and the other unfortunate business men in that block have befriended many of the homesteaders in this neighborhood in the strenuous past and we wish we were in a position to offer them all something more practical and material than a cold expression of sympathy. We hear there is to be a tri-wcekly mail service on the Marsland-Ashbrook route, beginning April 1st. Those of us getting our mail over that route are glad of this, but sorry we are to lose our jovial, good hearted Fleet, the present carrier. It costs the man in his position nothing to be accomodating and helpful to the patrons along such a route, and Mr. Fleet has made for himself a host of friends by be ing always pleasant and thoughtful of the needs and pleasures of the homesteaders during the trying months of the passing winter and we will miss him. In fact he has made even the children love him. Dillard Ryan's pony fell with him last Saturday, ( but the little fellow escaped without injury.
